Reproduction rate
| 1. Very low reproduction rate. The plant hardly spreads, has few seeds or vegetative spread (e.g., trees with heavy seeds). |
| 2. Low reproduction rate. Spread via limited seed production or specific conditions required |
| 3. Average reproduction rate. Regular spread, depending on wind, water, or animals, at a moderate speed (e.g., dandelion). |
| 4. High reproduction rate. Many seeds and multiple spread strategies (wind, birds, vegetative). Quickly colonizes open spaces |
| 5. Very high reproduction rate. Invasive species that spread explosively over large distances (e.g., Japanese knotweed). |

Harvest/recognition in winter
Net als hazelaar, maar dan met rode knoppen.
De bladeren zijn rond, donzig en getand. Hazelaars zijn windbestuivers en bloeien meestal rond januari. De mannelijke katjes zijn rood/paars en verkleuren naar rood/oranje wanneer ze hun stuifmeel afgeven. De vrouwlijke bloemen zijn erg klein, zitten in kleine trosjes op de takken en bloeien donkerroze tot rood.
